It is my perception that the ECPHM is more alive than ever! And certainly, there are many issues that come to my mind when I am saying this:

• We got the full recognition as a College by the EBVS (April this year), and this is only possible if all areas of our organization are functioning well
• The existing standard and alternative residencies includes nowadays 42 enthusiastic ECPHM residents all over Europe; these young professionals represent the future of the College and our profession, not only in Europe but also worldwide
• Organization of resident workshops is in the process of consolidation (we organized in 2013 the second one) and the first summer school of the College took place just few months ago; I must remind that continuous education is one of the most important task of the College
• Last October we organized the 6th exam of the ECPHM, with 13 candidates, more than ever! Certainly it was a big challenge for the Exam Committee and a great organizational success
• The last ESPHM held in Edinburgh was, again, a tremendously successful event, with more than 1000 participants, and a good sign of consolidation of the Symposium in the international scenario 

And the list would probably last for much longer, since there are many people “behind the scenes” to ensure that all these tasks are properly done.

The current members of the Education Committee are Joaquim Segalés, Jens Peter Nielsen, Tore Framstad, Martine Laitat and Paolo Martelli (resigning Chair). Dominiek Maes, Past-President of the ECPHM, has left his position in the Committee to be replaced by election during the next AGM.
